@flintoff11 @kylehogg22 Thank you all for being such an inspiration. Great to see young lads having such great role models. More value driven tv and presenters please.

@DTS1109 @sewingbee I love Suzy's quirky style. Incredibly creative and sure she will go from strength to strength.

@ABM_UK @BristolAirport @sophmorgTV what I experienced this week was unacceptable. Step free access I requested. Yes you said. Then the minibus arrived big steps. Unsafe. Grabbed and pushed to get me on by husband and other passengers or miss the flight #rightsonflights

@Sazzyness @MerlinFDC4 I would definitely but salt and shame for the same reason but can't beat a quaver

I emailed my MP urging them to ensure that the predatory commercial online pornography industry is robustly regulated. I encouraged them to read the shocking #ExposeBigPorn report by @CEASEorgUK. Please do the same here - it'll only take 2mins: https://t.co/5MjE0yLlT9

@Parody_RCGP @shakeywith Maybe yes and no. As a psychiatrist sometimes we come across something incidental. We do as much as we can including making referrals directly where we can. However we don't have your expertise. If we're on the same team it works. Move some 2ry to primary care with resource

@Dr_BellaR Psychiatry we celebrate uniqueness

So proud of our amazing community mental health team @livewellsw https://t.co/8Sfpkj7KKq

When choosing a CMHT consultant psychiatry job, what matters most to you?

[alison battersby @aliswanj]

@BenAllenGP we can send sms through s1 but don't use it for clinical information

[alison battersby @aliswanj]

@BenAllenGP We're working to alter the hospital tideline more care is delivered by secondary and primary care integrating as much as possible. Everyone is happier. Already worked for diabetes and mental health #One team @DrJamesBoorer @Paddy_English @PathfieldsMG @livewellsw . Happy to chat

[alison battersby @aliswanj]

@Kathy17014153 @DrKinnarney @DrKateLovett @wendyburn @rcpsych @ClareGerada @HelenRSalisbury @Mental_Elf @livewellsw And we now have a new improved system with tasks via s1, good audit trail, no need for GP to write email and advice back into notes with a ping back to GP. All info collected on emo. 4/7 PCNs now covered. DM me for demo @PathfieldsMG @livewellsw

[alison battersby @aliswanj]

@josierones Such a good documentary. Thank you for being such a good role model. Plus you are amazingly funny. Respect.

[alison battersby @aliswanj]

@TsiakirisD @livewellsw @Arasu_tkp @rcpsych It's a team effort and we're very lucky to have such a great team @TsiakirisD

(1/11) We studied coroner reports to learn why there are so many fatal drug overdoses after discharge from hospital. Acute health problems can increase sedative use and reduce access to drug treatment. Hospitals can mitigate these risks. New research: https://t.co/Hb84AooO4a

🐵 The Chimp Reacts, The Human Responds.

💡When we are in Human mode, we can step back and look more objectively at how we would like to be.

⭐️ One way to significantly develop your Human is to recognise the option you have between reacting and responding in life.

@_rachelOT Functional imagery training @jandradeply It's superb. Her work on craving and behaviour change is ground-breaking. @MindDevon and @oneyouplymouth use it I believe.
